Trip behind 5690 Leander on SVR - 31st May 1988 (Part 1)

5690 Leander on the Severn Valley Railway on 31st May 1988.
5690 is seen from the lineside between Northwood Halt and Bewdley, followed by clips from the first carriage of the train between Highley and Bewdley Tunnel.
On the clip departing Highley towards Kidderminster, notice the area to the right of the picture just after leaving the station. All that can be seen are trees, which hid the old miner's yard. At the time, this location seemed very isolated, dark, damp and eerie, but in 2008 it has undergone a total transformation, and is now home to the Engine House, and the view from the railway at this location is now very different.
